Entry into a hypometabolic state is an important survival strategy for many organisms when
challenged by environmental stress, including low oxygen, cold temperatures and lack of …

Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) is a collagen-specific molecular chaperone that is required
for molecular maturation of various types of collagens. Recent studies have shown a close …

Human peroxiredoxins 1 and 2, also known as Prx1 and Prx2, are more than 90%
homologous in their amino acid sequences. Prx1 and Prx2 are elevated in various cancers …

White blood cells (WBCs) express tens of thousands of genes, whose expression levels are
modified by genetic and external factors. The purpose of the present study was to investigate …

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone contributing to
the folding, maintenance of structural integrity and proper regulation of a subset of cytosolic …

Enterobacter sakazakii is considered an opportunistic food‐borne pathogen, causing rare
but significant illness especially in neonates. It has been proposed that the organism is …

The main function of the prokaryotic translation elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) and its
eukaryotic counterpart eEF1A is to deliver aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site on the ribosome. In …

A number of toxic heavy metals, such as cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg), are widely used in
occupational settings, and exposure to these metals is associated with the development of …

Hsp105α and Hsp105β of the HSP105 family are alternatively spliced products derived from
an hsp 105 gene transcript. Hsp105α is constitutively expressed and also induced by …

Chloroplast protein synthesis elongation factor, EF-Tu, has been implicated in heat
tolerance in maize. The recombinant precursor of this protein, pre-EF-Tu, has been found to …
